All I can read in this thread is people overreacting.
Occulus Rift is still Occulus Rift, all that changes is where the money flows to and from. Yeah, yeah it might change its direction a bit in the long run, but only the stupidest company would avoid selling it as the product that made it popular in the first place.
Besides, there are a few ups such as better financial backing. That could mean more frequent iterations, availability in more countries, more advertising making more developers interested in developing for it, etc.
So yeah big businesses do kind of put their own stamp on things like a few other things I can think of like: -Microsoft bought skype, they integrated their Microsoft account system into it. -Google has Youtube, they integrated their google plus account system into it.
Occulus rift if a physical product that doesn't sport a web UI in the damn thing... worst that can happen in my opinion is that you can log on the occulus rift website with your FB account?
Besides so many websites that aren't even affiliated with Facebook have tons of Facebook related features in them, even games! But that's not Facebook's decision but rather the game/website/product that decided it wanted to because it can generate cheap advertisement.
Take a chill pill guys.

If this goes through, EVE Valkyrie and the Oculus are dead to me.
Your thoughts? I just want a device that I can use without having to give away all my personal info and dirty secrets. Anyone who trusts Zuckerberg is a "dumb ****" - his words.
You are the dumb****. If you are online, you have zero privacy. If you guy stuff online, your personal information is now online and anything online is public.
When are people going to learn there is no such thing as security on the Internet. If it is online it is hackable, period. Nothing is 100% secure if it is connected to the Internet. |

Hence why I don't use FB, Twitter, Skype (especially since the MS takeover), online banking, etc...
Some of us stick to what we mean when we say we don't want any part of this crap.
The younger crowd eats it up though and they are going to pay for it.

Waste of money, this will tank harder then virtual boy. Companies seriously need to get the memo that cheap tactics to trick our senses aren't good enough anymore. (Wii, 3d and xbox one looking at you)
The next true innovation needs to come as a neurological link to the brain to give us true virtual reality, matrix style. Until then I'm always going to feel like dope dancing around in my living room. |

Have you tried the Occulus Rift?
This isn't an experiment, the demand already exists. |

Your thoughts?
I really looked forward to this game. Now? No way in *HELL*. Sorry, CCP. oh please. it's the same damn device A device is just as much defined by the software driving it as the hardware comprising it. People clearly don't trust FB to not have a decidedly negative influence on that. |

okay so the RIFT is out due to recent events. How hard would it be to develop Valkyrie for ANOTHER VR platform? |

That is brilliant!
But in essence, this really symbolizes the disdain and fear of being watched/controlled.
Despite seeing all the ways the Occulus COULD be used by facebook, in the end its like your monitor... There's a bunch of **** on the internet, but it's not because I have a samsung monitor... Its because I am subscribing to content made by greedy idiots on the internet. If I use my occulus to play Eve Valkyrie, I get what CCP wants to show me using it.
It's my fault if I subscribe to the new and improved virtual facebook in the future... Certainly Occulus rift would have helped facebook create this monstrosity, but the device itself shows little prospect of having a mind of its own in that respect... Lol at modern consoles that do force you to subscribe to their system to use it... That means Sony as well, if you think their VR system is better because it isn't facebook, you are looking at it the wrong way.
Also, those same people that made my monitor made my washing machine and phone... Oh and Disney bought Lucas... So what the hell.

Yeah seems like just what a product that is essentially two screens an inch from your eyeballs really needs, an owner who have perfected the art of targeted advertising. |
